I forgot to include Abua/ Odual( their dialect is closely related to Ogbia) and Engenni ( Mbiama and JK-4 people).

There are so many things you are ignorant of. Update yourself so the world doesn't leave you behind.

Captain8:
guy... i know everything...but just that you cant reason higher...

i know in america every born child is registered so they know their population........now how do you know the exact figure of nigeria populations..?..

jamesversion:


Stop asking me dumb question in an attemp to appear smart.

Since you know we do not have ethnicity in our census form, then why are you stating 20M like you added ethnicity when counting.

Everyone claiming a certain population figure is only doing so by intelligent estimate, using parameters which are readily acceptable. For example the terrain where the particular ethnicity resides.

Technological advancement in Satellite mapping have opened up hitherto hidden areas, which can now be conveniently seen from anywhere in the world. That population density you claimed to have inside swamp is easily debunked with

Ovis1302:

I think all the riverine ethnic groups in Rivers State consider themselves as Izon people.
The Kalabaris, Okrikas, Ibanis( Bonny),Opobos, and the Andonis.
Do you think the Ikwerres are more than the Izon speaking people in Rivers State?

jamesversion:


Lolz. Infact it is taught in all Primary and Secondary school in Rivers state.

I don't know who usually allows lunatics access to internet.

Eastlink:
Stop making baseless assumptions. Riverine Rivers people don't consider themselves Izon abi na Ijaw. Where did you carryout such baseless survey to assume such? Even in Bayelsa the supposed homeland of the Ijaws, the Epies and Ogbia don't consider themselves Izon let alone Rivers people.

The original Izons speak mutual intelligible language in Southern Ijaw areas of Bayelsa and maybe Delta. There's nothing like Izon speaking people in Rivers state. Kalahari, Okrika and Ibani speak their unique languages which is different from Izon.

The population of Ijaws/Ijoid people in Rivers state aren't a function of how many LGAs they occupy but the actual population density of those LGAs.

Ovis1302:


You can't tell me what I know and term my statement baseless.
I did my first degree at Port Harcourt and currently work at the Niger Delta.
Izon is an ethnic nation made up of sub-groups that speak their distinct dialects.
That is why all those sub-groups I mentioned have Ijaw Youth Congress( IYC)Chapter , together with their local youth congresses.
Go and do your research if there is no IYC Chapters at Ogbia, Epie, Zarama( Bayelsa State) or at Engenni( Mbiama, JK 4 ), Abua, Odual?
I can't recollect the exact community in Rivers State now....they migrated from Odi axis of Bayelsa State.
I am not an Izon guy ,but from the Niger Delta.

Eastlink:
IYC and INC just like PDP and APC are political parties that the riverine minority groups are members of. It does not prove ethnicity. How can you claim ethnicity yet speak English & Pidgin during meetings? Meetings of so-called brothers.
Only those in Southern Ijaw of Bayelsa and Izons in Delta can claim Ijaw. Only them speak mutually intelligible language. An Ogbia, Epie, Abua/Odua, Bonny, Opobo, and even Kalabari and Okrika speak independent languages.

Even Isaac Boro during his declaration for Niger-Delta republic declared only the aforementioned Ijaw areas for a new country. He never added other areas into it.

I don't think you are from Rivers state at all because if you are from Rivers state,and you have been to lagos bus stop,(town) Churchill, Borokiri,new road and so on, you won't have make such reckless statement like the bold.
Oga Okrika people are 110% ijaw people infact, the average Okrika man is first an ijaw man before being an Okrika man. If by the grace of God this country split, we are going to take our own share of port harcourt and merge it with the ijaw/Izon nation ( I know this is what you are afraid of ) we are already suffering in Rivers state under the ikwerres and you uplanders, only the ijaw nation will give the Okrika people peace and prosperity.

And you’ll force Okrika people to become Izon overnight right? Are you aware that Okrikans flaunt their Wakrike ethnicity with pride? If you failed in your mission to convert ordinary Nembe a stone throw from you as Ijaws, or Epie who flaunt their ethnicity, is it Okrika people that you'll bend into a failed agenda?

When we say no Ijaws exist in Rivers state, we have military gazette of the 1996 state creation to prove it. Abacha carved all Ijaws and their cousins into Bayelsa state, leaving Rivers into the hands of the original owners. We are aware of the game you lots played in old Rivers by using fake Ijaw umbrella to dominate others, but now that power has change hands you should stay put in your Bayelsa and stop pick-nosing into another state.

You cried for an Ijaw state and you got it, what else do you want?

manuelberry:
a state with so many tribes.all i'm trying to say is that people mistake calabar in cross river for cross river and akwa ibom and not only cross river alone.so they tend to call us all calabar but i still don't think ibibio ALONE can make that list without joining them with other neighbouring tribes.

oluztx:
Yorubas and Northerners call them Calabar because they don't them very well, have never known them, all because of One Nigeria oil they pretend we know each other. But Igbos know them very well as neighbors even without them saying a damn word, we can tell you whether they are Ibibio, Efik, Annang or Ika(Igbo).

Do you know you can identify an Ibibio from Annang and Efik? Ibibio look very much like Igbos than Ananng and Efik. They have flat heads light Igbos, muscular, yam legs and light skin too. The light skin you see in Akwa-Cross Axis are mostly Ibibio. Annag and Efik are 95% dark skin like Gov Ayade, while Ibibio share the same makeup of light skin as Igbos, about 30-40%. That's why Adekunle went to Ibibioland and killed over half a million young men. When asked why he massacred them? He said Ibibio and Igbo are one and the same people. Hope you learned something today

Even at that self, there's no way on earth how ikwerre with three L.G.A will be more than the ijaws in Rivers state. That is impossible

Ovis1302:

So the population density of the Ikwerres is more than that of the Ijoid people in Rivers State?

Lolz. How many LGAs make up bayelsa state??. As big as the landmass of bayelsa, aren't they just a mere 1.2Million?

If your terrain is as swampy and uninhabitable as it is in Riverine areas, which population can it support??

Allen102:
You are a typical igbo clown! There's no way on earth how ikwerres with two and a half L.G.A.( they are sharing Phlga with Okrikans) the same ikwerres who always use igbos from Abia and Imo state to win elections in Rivers state, are more than the ijaws in Rivers state. That is impossible igbo man.

BlackSaints:
Oga i am from Okrika stop talking medicine for my people headace.
Okrikans will always be loyal to the ijaw nation because, under ijaw people we once rule Rivers state( Ada George) Under you upland/ igbos we are worst than 7th class citizens.

Graysons:
You are nothing but a big shameless clown! The Okrikans have said times and times that they are ijaws,they even have evidence to prove it, but you keep showing your stupidity every damn time. You keep talking so much nonsense without evidence go and jump of a clif. There are ijaws in Rivers state,the Okrikans are ijaws and there's nothing you are going to do about it.
